Let your body answer everything (versione 2)

Verse

Copper light hangs from the wire above

Swinging slow like it's short of love

Dust rising soft where the courtyard ends

Shadow stretching where the daylight bends

You catch the arc with a turn of hip

Wire creaks once, then the rhythm slips

Pre-Chorus

Nobody counts, nobody leads

Light does the talking that the body needs

Watch how it swings, watch how it stalls

Something is passing between us all

Chorus

Follow the lanterna swing

Let your body answer everything

Follow the lanterna swing

No words, just the arc and the string

Follow the lanterna swing

Follow the lanterna swing

Verse

Wind off the hill through the open door

Lantern leaning, shadow on the floor

Sweat on your collar catching amber light

Feet find the pattern the flame writes

Hip meets hip when the swing comes round

Nothing but breath and the wire sound

Pre-Chorus

Nobody counts, nobody leads

Light does the talking that the body needs

Watch how it stalls, watch how it turns

Let it pull you close while the courtyard burns

Chorus

Follow the lanterna swing

Let your body answer everything

Follow the lanterna swing

No words, just the arc and the string

Follow the lanterna swing

Follow the lanterna swing

Bridge

Flame burns low, then it's gone for good

Still we move like we knew we would

Wire still swinging though the light is spent

Body remembers where the rhythm went

No flame now but we don't lose the thread

Courtyard dark and the dance ahead

Chorus

Follow the lanterna swing

Let your body answer everything

Follow the lanterna swing

No words, just the arc and the string

Follow the lanterna swing

Follow the lanterna swing
